GlobalWafers’ Chief Sustainability Officer attended the CDP Awards Ceremony and accepted the Water Security A List recognition.
The global environmental disclosure organization CDP recently announced the results of its 2025 Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). GlobalWafers has once again achieved the highest “A” rating and been named a “Supplier Engagement Leader,” marking the second consecutive year receiving this distinction. Building on GlobalWafers’ “A” rating in Water Security and “B” rating in Climate Change, this recognition underscores the Company’s tangible progress in integrating climate action into value chain management and its ongoing efforts to strengthen overall climate governance capabilities.
The CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) evaluates how companies extend climate action beyond their own operations into the value chain through governance frameworks, supplier collaboration, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, and target setting. It serves as a key indicator of a company’s maturity in value chain climate governance.
To advance value chain decarbonization, GlobalWafers has implemented a tiered management mechanism for raw material suppliers, encouraging them to conduct product carbon footprint assessments and obtain third-party verification. Currently, 80% of its key raw material suppliers have met the Company’s decarbonization requirements, including committing to set Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) near-term targets by 2026 and completing product carbon footprint assessments for major products by 2025. In parallel, GlobalWafers collaborates with high-emission suppliers to participate in the SBTi, while continuously tracking the implementation of their decarbonization commitments and transition progress. GlobalWafers also works closely with key value chain partners to deepen low-carbon collaboration and technical exchange, progressively expanding climate action across the broader semiconductor supply chain.
Guided by its philosophy of “Responsible Growth,” GlobalWafers continues to optimize its low-carbon operations while actively partnering with suppliers and customers to advance climate action and build a more resilient and sustainable value chain. The Company is also strengthening its sustainability governance and environmental management across multiple dimensions—from organizational governance frameworks and decarbonization pathway planning to water resource management—thereby enhancing its overall climate action capabilities and laying a solid foundation for long-term sustainable development.
